Application tiled May@ 20, 1926, Serial No. 110,355. Renewed March 8, 1928.

This invention relates to vanity ca ses and has for its particular object the provision of an improved loose powder unitphaving con# venient means for making the powder available. )The powder unit includes a hinged coveroarrying a pivoted closure member, the latter being provided with propellervanes which operate to push some of the contained powder `from the unit. as the closure member is moved to open position.

While I,'have disclosed a preferred embodiment f the invention for purposes of illustration, it will be understood that various changes and modifications in the struc ture could be made without departure from the true spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter detnedand claimed.

In theA drawings;

Fig. 1 is a plan view ofa vanity case embodying` the invention;

Fig. 2 is a section on line 2--2 ofFlg. 1;

Fig. Bis a plan view of the powder unit with thehinged cover opened;

with arts omitted.

Re erring to the drawings more particularly, the vanity case 10` has a convex bot.I tom wall llvand carries a convex' hinged cover 12. The loose powder unit 13 dits within the outer case 10 andconforms to the contour of said outer case. The 'unit 13 comprises a receptacle portion 14.` and a cover15 hinged-thereto at '16. The cover' cured to the hub 22 by a rivet 245 or other suitable fastening means, .is adapted to cover the openings 18 and 19. Two triangular propeller vanes 25 and' 26. are strnclrl downwardl from the disc closure 23 and are di- --ametrlcally located Yso that the result'rll. .th th u v w1 eprope er openings in the disc are normallycove by the supporting arms 20 and 21. An operating`- knob 27 1 s fastened to 23 in'a position to contaetwith arm 21 wh :the openin in the disc liebeneath arms and.

21. to eredyscact as a' stop or theclosed positionof` 23. Y i #Two stop vanes- 28 and 29 are ysftruclru wardly from the bottom 'of thereoeptaro Fig. 4 isa section on line 'll-' at of Fig. l,

4Upon moving knob 27 in a clockwise direction the openings in the closure disc are moved away from the arms 2() and 21 and. at

the'same time the powder from the receptacle is forced up the inclined propeller vanes 25 and 26 and deposited on the top of the closure disc kwhere it is conveniently available for use. It will be seen that as disc 23 is rotated. the ropeller vane' 25 will tend to press'the pow er toward the stop vane, 29, an since the latter oiers resistance 't the movement of the powder the latter will be forced throu h the opening in f ront of vane 25. Similar y 0the stop vane 28 cooperates with propeller vane 26- to force powder from the receptacle.v The arms 20 and 21 as well as closure,` disc 23 are dished as shown in Figs. ,1 and 2 to provide a better surface for handling the powder.
